  • Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China

    Please don't comment on moderation practices. Send an email or direct message to the staff if you've got a comment on moderation practices. Don't waste your time, I'll just delete the comment that violates the rules.

    No, it isn't bias. We leave plenty of conservative and liberal posts up that are generalized in nature. Attacking a Senator, President, etc with insults and comments that can't be attributed to the topic will be evaluated and taken down if it crosses a line or doesn't belong in a thread.

    However, if a post is about the President creating a grift, lying about whether or not it is made in the US, and people want to point out the grift in the comments, that's fair game.

    If you can't tell the difference, just don't comment on political posts. And for those that don't like an individual's post history, just hit the ignore button and let them yell into the void.

    Edit: If you don't want to talk to me (fair enough) reach out to Mike.

    A professional grifter. Robbing any fool that will listen to him. Humanity has failed. 
    The key here is the “fool,” without whom the entire movement would crumble.
    Last I saw, a moderator here was deleting the same kind of posts for attacking politicians. but I guess it only applies to whatever side has the favorable bias. Have some consistency. 
    If you see something that violates the rules, flag it and moderators will evaluate. We don't see every post all the time, we have work to get done and can't comb through every 50+ comment thread for mild politically motivated insults.

    This isn't even what I'd call an attack, more an observation. Anyone that would believe this device is made in the USA is a fool, even more so the ones willing to pay money for it. The current President is the king of grift, selling a Bible and bitcoin even though it's illegal for him to do so.

    If this statement is an attack, I'd hate to see what would happen if someone pulled out a real insult. This is too soft a swing for us to address, but I'll flag it and let the other mods decide since you believe I can't judge it myself.

    Next time, just flag the comment. Don't make meta comments about comments and moderation. It's against the rules. I don't know why we have to keep reminding someone of the very basic rules that posts here so regularly.

  • Apple's AI ambitions go beyond Siri LLM with Knowledge chatbot and always-on AI copilot

    What nonsense do you see? Even the title of the article "....Siri LLM with knowledge CHATBOT" is nonsense as Joz already stated that they are NOT INTERESTED in chatbots. 

    I provide some technical aspects why I highly doubt Intelligent Siri in 2026 given the fact that our iPhones only have 8GB ~ 12GB. iPhones are small devices to play Siri on-device what we are looking for. 
    Maybe, Apple has a magic tool. I really hope that Apple proves me wrong and lets me look like a troll.

    Even additionally, I just want to point out that people are still confused because "trusted" sources mentioned by John are at Apple and underline the exact opposite feedback to what Craig mentioned with some technical details.

    Okay.. We can close this nonsense that we should just believe what Craig explained with v1 and v2 architecture and that we expect Intelligent Siri in 2026 as Joz confirmed. 
    The nonsense is you posting "Apple is rotten" in nearly every forum post as if it means something. And just because you replied to some posts today with some actual paragraphs of text doesn't undo the random borderline spam you've posted everywhere else.

    Your argument also doesn't make any sense. You seem to have forgotten Private Cloud Compute. Also, if you read the article you'll see how I explain how Joz would say one thing and Gruber another, and it ties back to Gurman's report. I could repeat it here, but I'll let you go read the article first.

  • Apple's continued lack of native apps on Vision Pro isn't a good sign for the platform

    I'm not sure you're much of a fan of the platform at this point -- you seem about 3/4 of the way toward it being doomed, meaning you don't believe in it anymore. Also seems like most of the Appleinsider contributing staff also isn't that into Apple anymore. Getting pretty "The Verge" around here lately, and choosing this hill to die on as far as Vision Pro feels a little weak this early on.
    Being critical of poor decision making by a company is not the same thing as hating a product. Considering I wrote this piece from within Apple Vision Pro and have spent multiple hours testing the new features this week just for the fun of it, I'd say I'm still rather invested in the platform.

    I'm not sure what you expect us to do, praise Apple when they're doing a poor job at something? You should try listening to the podcast sometime, I'm continuously accused of being too defensive of Apple. lol

    If anything, me wanting the platform to be better should be an indicator of how much I care about it.
    Being critical and concern trolling are two different things. You know full well that if you write stories with incendiary headlines like this one what kind of traffic it attracts. It's quite obvious that you wanting to make money trolling Apple supersedes you "wanting the platform to be better". Please. This is the oldest trick/excuse in the book.
    It's the truth. If you don't like the truth in a headline, go bury your head in the sand. And if you can't read past the headline, don't comment in our forums. I clearly wasn't being incendiary towards AVP, and if you think I was it is because you either didn't read the story or you didn't understand it.
